A new album entitled "Out Through the In Door" a collection of Led Zeppelin covers (who opened for the band in 1969) is scheduled for release later this year. As of March 2008, the original lineup of Vanilla Fudge has scheduled a tour of the United States (mostly New England) with dates through Fall. The band performed You Keep Me Hanging On for the PBS fundraising program My Music: My Generation-The '60s for the March 2008 pledge drive. The band went back in the studio to record Out Through the in Door, a Led Zeppelin cover album released in 2007 only in Europe. In 2005, Vanilla Fudge reformed with all the original members for a tour with The Doors and Steppenwolf. Martell overdubbed his guitar and vocals later. However, Vince Martell was not available for that tour and Paul Hanson stood in on guitar. 2003 saw Vanilla Fudge release the "live" album, The Real Deal - Vanilla Fudge Live, recorded on tour in 1987. Then around 2001, the band reunited with organist Bill Pascali replacing Mark Stein to record a "greatest hits" album, Vanilla Fudge 2001/ The Return / Then And Now, with all new recordings of previous songs and three new songs. This resulted in another album in 1984 called Mystery. In 1982, Vanilla Fudge reunited in support of the release of the ATCO release, Best of Vanilla Fudge LP. The band has received criticism for being a cover band as this had led to issues with royalties.įollowing the band's breakup in 1970, the band has reunited several times. Their rendition of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" was featured in the 2007 film Zodiac. The members of Vanilla Fudge were great admirers of The Beatles, and covered several of their songs including "Ticket to Ride", as well as "Eleanor Rigby", of which The Beatles were quite fond.
One follow-up to this hit, "Take Me For a Little While," had a quite different lyric message than the former. They had a number of hit singles, their biggest hit being "You Keep Me Hangin' On," a slowed-down, trippy, hard rock cover of a song originally recorded by The Supremes, which particularly featured Appice's energetic drumming. Members included organist Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, lead guitarist Vince Martell, and drummer Carmine Appice. Vanilla Fudge was an American psychedelic band that recorded albums from 1967 to 1970.
